I'm sure I've been down this road more than once, and with the same novel, but whereas the last edit, which was probably the second or third, finished up in the pile, then forgotten.
I'm doing an active update to all my works in progress, and sending them to the editor, after going through the manuscript once again, with a view to publishing. Hopefully, before the year is out.
...
It's the end.
The last day, but not the last of the editing.
Yes, I have almost managed to complete most of the editing in 30 days, but with a few side trips, and changes to the plan on the run, it is mostly done.
The good news?
I'm going to stick with it until I've finished, so there will be a few more journal entries to cover the last chapters.
Had it been the length I had originally planned, it would be finished.
I managed to get through the back chapters last night after some distractions, and now it's just two, possibly three more, and then one or two for the epilogue, which will be epic.
At the moment the story is about 73,000 words long and will finish closer to 80,000,
It's been at times a trial, a lot of hard work, but it has been worthwhile. The thing is, I'm going to continue on, past the estimated time, and get this finished.
It's now three of three, books that will eventually be published in the near future.
